Stephen J. Gould and Immanuel Velikovsky is a substantial 6" x 9" hard cover book of 835+ pages published by The Velikovskian in 1996, and contains selected papers by the leading planetary catastrophists.

Back Cover
In 1950, Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision posited that celestial catastrophes were visited upon the Earth in historical times. His ideas created a raging affair that became an enormous embarrassment for the world of modern science. Numerous, highly respected scientists and scholars from many fields acted in such a vicious and reprehensible manner that when the news of their behavior was exposed, the uproar that ensued was reminiscent of the actions taken against Galileo by the Church. The public, both professionals and laypersons, were thoroughly shocked by the blatant dishonesty to which the scientists resorted to denigrate Velikovsky.

Many now think that the "Velikovsky Affair" has ended because of the exposure it received in the 1960's in the press and in several books. But the most amazing aspect of what is contained in Stephen Jay Gould and Immanuel Velikovsky is that the decidedly unprofessional shenanigans have continued. Led by a second generation of scientists, scholars, science writers and journalists, they have trod the very same path using the same outrageous, dirty tricks, the kinds of dirty tricks that were the undoing of Richard Nixon.

In Stephen Jay Gould and Immanuel Velikovsky, the antics of Gould, Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov, and several other notables are laid bare. One is led to wonder why for over 50 years the scientific and scholarly communities have been unable to deal with Velikovsky without resorting to the most callow and shallow of arguments with the ultimate aim of stifling scientific enquiry. If the scientists cannot be trusted, then to whom can the educated public turn? If the press will not deal with their behavior, what can be done?
